My long and mostly complete list:

  • Using for audiobooks. Ebooks, comics, and podcast support in early stages.
• Authelia (GH)
  • Using for two-factor authentication in front of all of my services. Critical infrastructure.
• Bazarr (GH)
  • Using for automated subtitle management. Have not needed to rely on it much.

  • Using for a plethora of things. I could write an entire post on this alone.
• Courier
  • Using (occasionally) for package-tracking from various carriers.
• EmulatorJS
  • Using for retro-emulation.
• Gitea (GH) x2
  • Using as a git repo server, package repository, and for CI/CD automation. Is critical infrastructure in my lab. Could also write an entire post on this one.
• Headscale with Headscale-UI. Tailscale clients on various VMs LXCs, etc.
  • Using to securely network with my remote servers.
• Homepage
  • Using as a "single-pane-of-glass" to get an overview of service health with links to the various services.
• Invidious
  • Using in-place of YouTube.
• IT-Tools (GH)
  • Using for the myriad of various useful tools it offers.
• Jellyfin (GH)
  • My media player of choice. Using for movies and television, but supports music, ebooks, and photos in addition.
• Kopia Server (GH)
  • Using for data backups to my Minio instance on local NAS and Wasabi. Simple, fast, and reliable.
• Librespeed (GH)
  • Using for the occasional speedtest to my remote servers.
• Matrix stack using Conduit back end and Element-Web front end
  • Federated Discord essentially. Using as a private instance for friends and family.
• Minio
  • Using primarily as a gateway to storing backups, also serves git-lfs for Gitea.
• N8N (GH)
  • Using for home-automation, backing up my Reddit saved posts to a database, deal-alerts, and part of a CI/CD pipeline.
• NTFY (GH)
  • Using for infrastructure notifications mostly. Very simple and versatile alerting solution.
• NZBGet
  • Using for getting "usenet articles".
• Paperless-NGX
  • Using for document archival. Important receipts, documentation, letters, etc. live here.
• Portainer (GH) with multiple agents on VM's LXCs and VPSs
  • High level management of my various docker containers.
• Prowlarr
  • Using to provide torznab API to websites that dont natively have it. Integrates with Radarr and Sonarr
• Radarr (GH)
  • Using for movie management.
• Radicale
  • Using for contacts and calendar server.
• Raneto (GH)
  • Using as a knowledge base. Lab documentation, lists, recipes, lots of things live here. Using with with code-server and Gitea.
• Readarr (GH)
  • Using for book management
• Recyclarr (GH)
  • Using for Radar and Sonarr to sync search terms for their automations. Very useful, hard to summarize.
• Requestrr
  • Using (very rarely) as a requests bot for Radarr and Sonarr.
• SFTP-Go
  • Using mostly in-place of Nextcloud. Used to back up phones mostly.
• Shaarli (GH)
  • Using as a read-it-later service. Went through lots of these, and Shaarli has been good enough.

• Sonarr (GH)
  • Using as TV series manager
• Speedtest-Tracker (GH)
  • Using to get periodic speedtests. Plan to automate results to blast my ISP if my service speed gets too low.
• Traefik (GH) on each seperate host
  • Using as a web proxy in front of my various services. Critical infrastructure.
• Transmission (GH)
  • Using to get "Linux ISOs"
• Uptime Kuma (GH)
  • Using to monitor site and services status along with a few others. Integrated with NTFY for alerts.
• Vaultwarden
  • Using as my password manager. Have been using for years, cannot recommend enough.
• A handful of static websites served with NGINX
  • The old standby, its been reliable as a webserver.

These services are the result of years of development and administrating my lab and while there is still some cruft, it's mostly services that I think have real utility.

As far as hardware:

• Running pfsense on a toughbook laptop as a router-firewall.

• A SuperMicro 24 bay disk-shelf with Proxmox and ZFS for NAS duties and a couple services.

• Lenovo Tiny boxes with a Proxmox cluster for the majority of my local services.

• Dell managed switch

• A few Raspberry-pi's with Raspbian for various things.

• Linksys AP for wifi

Edit: Spelling is hard.

I'm actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It's selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.
